THE Sunday School Choral Service ia
the Lutheran Church last Sunday was
one of the most interest ing and enjoya
BILE ever held in that edifce. Flowers
were arranged about the pulpit in pro-
fusion. The singing was very spirited
and a success in every sense of the
word, with Miss Lullie Mason presid-
ing at the cabinet organ and Miss Liz
zie Muth at the pipe organ. he SER
vices were conducted by the pastor and
Superintendent, George Knapp, who
had the exercises conducted in perfect
unison.
There are $50 scholars in the Sun

BENEATH THE WHEELS. The new s
that Mr.. Fred Baker had teen serious
ly injured by the cars, last Saturday,
was heard with sorrow by his many
friends. In company with a friend. he
had gone that afternoon to Cherry Run
to enjoy bath in the cool Potomac. On
his way back, when near the lime kiln,
he attempted to jump from the car, but
piece of the woodwork around the
car was off, aud broke the jump. caus-
ing him to fall on his chin and stomach,
with his legs on the track. The wheels
passed over them, terribly MASKING
them He was placed on stIetcher
and carried home 10 his agonizing moth
err One limb has been taken off. aud
the other, il is thought, must be ampu-
tated. Fred bears up bravely under his
great trial, aud has so far shown nerve
and vitality wonderful IN themselves.
| We hope the warm weather, and the
noise of that portion of the town, may
not mitigate against his recovery, and
that his able physicians, may carry him
/ through safely. He is quiet, in
\ dustrious youth, with large circle OF
friends, and has the genuine wishes OF
the community for his speedy recovery.
Another warning to those persons who
constantly are jumping on and off many
trains. 1t is great wonder there arr
not more fatalities than usually occur
Stay away from moving trains.
